The EU Commission has set out a proposal to suspend trade-related provisions of its association agreement with Israel, as well as sanctions on Hamas, extremist Israeli ministers, and violent settlers. The Commission is also putting on hold bilateral EU support to Israel, with the exception of support to civil society and Yad Vashem. This entitles the EU to suspend the Agreement unilaterally. The trade suspension concerns the core trade-related provisions of the EU-Israel Association Agreement, meaning in practice that imports from Israel will lose their preferential access to the EU market. These goods will therefore be charged duties at the level applied to any other third country with whom the EU has no free trade agreement.
